Chitra Pournima and AKSHAYA TRITIYA
Chitra Pournima on 27th April 2021 – Tuesday
and AKSHAYA TRITIYA ON THE 14TH APRIL 2021 – FRIDAY
The Chitra Purnima is a Hindu festival dedicated to Chitragupta, who is the divine accountant and also the assistant to the God of Death, Lord Yama. As per the Hindu mythology, He is responsible for keeping the track of good and bad deeds in the life of all individuals.
In the Hindu scriptures, Chitragupta assists Lord Yama in judging the good and bad deeds of every individual. It is believed that after a person dies, he/she reaches to the abode of Lord Yama and then Chitragupta after assessing the deeds of deceased person, declares him/her to be a good or a bad soul. The day of Chitra Purnima is therefore celebrated in honour of Chitragupta and devotees worship Him on this auspicious day and ask forgiveness for their sins.
Let us pray to Lord Chitragupta to forgive us to give a good record so as to live in peace here and elsewhere.
Om Chitraguptaya Namaha!
